Pros

I love this company, the best I've ever worked for. I started as a temporary employee and very quickly moved into different responsibilities. My manager was able to bring me on permanently, and I am constantly commended on my performance. How well I perform is directly influenced by the environment at work, and I work well because I absolutely enjoy it here.

Cons

Noise in the plant is all, but Solvay can't help that. Also, corporate can go deaf and blind a lot - listen to your people. People rarely leave so finding a position in corporate/administration is difficult.

Pros

Stable, management respects workers and understands that there is life outside of the office.

Cons

Too much deadwood, not a company that can make a quick decision or move fast to seize opportunities.
